No More Sad Beige Holidays – Demi Moore's Simple (Yet Warming and Colorful) Christmas Tree Signifies a Return to Traditional Decor for 2025

The early 2020s were all about minimalism. Trends like quiet luxury, the return of beige, and boucle championed light, unoffensive colors, and dominated holiday decorating trends. This year, design enthusiasts are ready for more excitement, warmth, and nostalgia. Demi Moore's traditional Christmas tree is a harbinger of what's to come.

Moore's primary residence is a ranch in Hailey, Idaho, which (from the looks of it) champions classic ranch style, and it seems she's chosen a tree to complement this nostalgic, Americana look. An Instagram post from 2024 shows Demi adding white lights and blown glass ornaments to a tall faux Christmas tree. Though the picture was taken almost a year ago, current trend predictions indicate it was ahead of its time.

Essentially, all of this year's Christmas trends revolve around nostalgia, indicating that the second half of the decade will look more to the past for decor ideas. For instance, there is the 'Ralph Lauren aesthetic' dominating our social media feeds, which champions the designer's quintessentially American preppy style. Then there is the popularity of looks like 'Kitschmas' and 'Charlie Brown', which harken back to mid-century colors. Etsy's data shows that searches for 'Colorful Accessories' are up 3,000% this year.

Demi Moore's decor is somewhere between the two. The actress's approach to Christmas trends indicates that she is tapping into festive nostalgia, while balancing it with modern aesthetics. It is bold and colorful, while honoring her more pared back personal style.

Recreate Demi's Style at Home

Dayna Isom Johnson, design trends expert at Etsy has deemed this balanced approach to Christmas decor 'Play Haus.' It is both bold, and carefully guided by personal style, like Demi Moore's tree.

Dayna explains: 'Play Haus is a playful, color-drenched aesthetic that taps into childlike wonder and campy fun. Play Haus embodies Gen Z’s rebellion against polish. It celebrates dopamine-fuelled chaos, surreal collectibles, and nostalgia-driven accessories that feel like an IRL brain break.'

To tap into the trend, draw on '80s maximalist Christmas decor paired with modern taste.

Dayna advises: 'Imagine oversized bows, vivid palettes, and cartoonish ceramics straight out of a toy chest. Maximalist, irreverent, and joy-first, Play Haus turns the festive season into a playground for creativity – a shift from curated feeds to unfiltered expression, in its most giftable form.'

To tap into the look, do as Demi has done and combine decor that celebrates a range of things you love. 'Don’t just decorate – accessorize,' suggests Dayna. 'Dress your space the way you’d dress yourself, hang a squishy for a tree decoration, or gift a collectible that sparks joy!'
